SOLD OUTFriday, November 6th at Army Navy Air Force Veterans Club, 7:00 pm Join James Keelaghan and Jez Lowe for a special evening. A chance-meeting at a folk festival almost thirty years ago has led to a musical collaboration between two singer-songwriters, James Keelaghan from Canada and Jez Lowe from England, that has seen them play to audiences around the globe, from North America to Australia and to Europe, and which continues to this day. Every couple of years they each take a break from their busy solo careers to share stages and songs and inspire each other with their voices, their wit and a friendship that lights up each performance. The pair share an Irish heritage that certainly informs their writing and brings with it an enthusiasm for boundary-breaking and story-telling in song that is both infectious and enthralling, timeless and contemporary, unpredictable and yet focused. In other words, they surely and inevitably bring the best out of each other. James Keelaghan, too, burrows into that same rich seam with equal ability and comparable conviction. To quote Eric Bibb, the award-winning American acoustic bluesman, after listening to Keelaghan perform: &ldquo;[You&rsquo;re] a joy to hear, just beautiful. &nbsp;Reminded me of the best of the best of another time &ndash; Liam Clancy, Tom Paxton etcetera.&rdquo; Less colourful but more succinct, Dave Marsh, the eminent Rolling Stone critic, simply described Keelaghan as &ldquo;Canada&rsquo;s finest songwriter.&rdquo; Truly, throughout a career that now spans almost four decades, the Juno and Canadian Folk Music Award winner has created a repertoire of incalculable importance &ndash; a unique body of work, either inspired by or drawn from the folk tradition. Ten solo albums flush with enduring lyrical relevance. Take the beautiful but heartbreaking ballad, Jenny Bryce, for example. From any point of view, it&rsquo;s indistinguishable from the numerous traditional tracks covered on his disc A&nbsp;Few Simple Verses. Jez Lowe is an award-winning songwriter, novelist, and one of the busiest and most admired performers on the UK folk scene, Jez Lowe is celebrating forty five years as a touring singer, songwriter and musician.You may have heard Jez Lowe&rsquo;s songs on albums by Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, The Unthanks, Wizz Jones, The Young Uns, The Tannahill Weavers, Megson, Bob Fox, The McCalmans, Liam Clancy, Cherish The Ladies, and many, many more&hellip; Or maybe you&rsquo;ve heard one of the fifty or more songs he wrote for the award-winning BBC Radio Two series &ldquo;The Radio Ballads&hellip; Or perhaps you&rsquo;ve heard one of Jez&rsquo;s many albums, either solo, with his band The Bad Pennies or in his many collaborations with the likes of Steve Tilston, James Keelaghan, Jake Walton and The Pitmen Poets&hellip; And no doubt many will have caught one of Jez&rsquo;s solo shows in the UK, or on the many international tours across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and mainland Europe&hellip; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1788994786/wysiwyg/ncgkkhaf8l5i4m8q7r5p.jpg" style="width: 281px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 281px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> * The Lethbridge Folk Club, although a non-profit organization in the province of Alberta, is NOT a registered Canadian Charitable organization.
